Next Up for me in the Covid Misinformation Wars: The Washington (State) Medical Commission v. Richard J. Eggleston, MD

The Eggleston case is now the most important Covid misinformation case in the country, and that’s why I decided to jump into it. Dr. Eggleston is a retired ophthalmologist.

His disciplinable offense according to the Washington Medical Commission is that he made some statements in the column he writes in a regional newspaper which the Commission thinks is “Covid misinformation” and shows “moral turpitude.” As far as I can tell, this is…

CHD’s Defender just republished what I think is the best and most comprehensive news report on the status of AB 2098, now Section 2270 of the Business and Professional Code, after Judge Shubb’s decision in our case (Hoang v. Bonta) and the related case (Hoeg. v. Newsom), save for one important fact: For now, and for at least until the 9th Circuit issues its decision on the McDonald appeal, and our Judge, William B.

(Man with shades outside Sacramento Federal Courthouse after oral argument in the challenges to AB 2098) We had the hearing on our challenge (and the companion challenge filed by a high-profile Washington D.C. public interest group) yesterday afternoon. It was a very lively event. And because it was me, there were many lighter moments and even some robust laughter with some back-and-forth banter between us and the judge. Not so much with the Attorney General and the judge. And that…
